Dating sites are trying their best to attract customers and to keep them in the site. It seems like the usual gimmicks don’t work anymore, and so the dating sites are going for niche interest points. After hearing about a dating site for food lovers and a DNA-based dating site, we now have a new dating site for animal lovers.

The site, Love Me Love My Pet, designed specifically for those who love their furbabies, feathered, slithery or scaly friends and who would like an easier way to connect with those of like mind.

Love Me Love My Pet was conceived and started out of a small home in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, by husband and wife Tom and Jodie. The O’Brien’s said they saw a need after many of their animal loving friends had difficulty finding their Mr or Mrs Right – simply because they could not find the right person who had the same passion for animals as they did.

You don’t actually have to own a pet to join the site. Animal lovers in general are all welcome in this site. The site presents cute features such as “Paws”, which are greetings you can send to someone for free to indicate you would like to contact them.

If you feel animals and pets are an important part of your life, you might want to give this site a chance. If you feel like checking out more mainstream dating sites, here’s a list of the best dating sites around.
